My Story
I realized while I was pregnant with my daughter that pregnancy and childbirth are transformative, and that having adequate support and resources can make a world of difference when it comes to having a positive experience. When I became pregnant with my son, I knew that I wanted to dedicate myself to being a Birth Doula, and to helping women feel supported and empowered during this important time in their lives. I subsequently attended a DONA approved doula workshop in July of 2015, and am passionate about using the skills I learned there to support women in having the positive birth experience they desire.
My Philosophy
I believe that pregnancy and childbirth are transformative, for women and for their families. I believe that adequate education and support during this time can make the difference between a negative and positive experience, and am passionate about providing that support. Helping women and their partners to become informed about their options and to advocate for themselves and their child, as well as supporting them physically and emotionally during labor and delivery, is an honor I cherish. I believe that by working with pregnant women and their partners I can make an impact, and contribute to positive outcomes for both mother and baby.
